Sun, sand and sea, a thousand ‘Robinson Crusoe’ islands, massive lagoons
with different depths and infinite shades of blue and turquoise,
dazzling underwater coral gardens; a perfect natural combination for the
ideal tropical holiday destination. However there is more to the
Maldives than just that.
The
Country
Specks of emerald green enveloped by dazzling turquoise waters like
scattered beads in the ocean white powdery beaches, tall palms lean on
towards the sea, crystalling white sands giving way to crystal clear
waters, shades of turquoise blend flawlessly with deeper hue of blue;
pristine coral reefs and some of the most incredible underwater life on
our planet.
Rising from the deep blue of the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean are
more than a thousand islands and thousands more reefs that form the
Maldives.
